What film to introduce someone to David Lynch?
I'm thinking Blue Velvet.
Has to be a film, so no Twin Peaks. Not yet.

I'd say lost highway is the most normie accessible, but mulholland dr is not much more mysterious and works better as a pleb filter.
I picked inland empire to introduce to my normie friends, it made a good impression but gave one nightmares
This, Lost Highway has probably the most "Lynch" elements in it. It's also not very hard to understand but still feels nice to put 2 and 2 together after the end of it, so, good conversation piece.
What do you think it’s about?
>inland empire
why does it look so hideous though? I mean I know he was experimenting with digital cameras and such but still
It gave me nightmares too, plus sleep paralysis. Lynch wants to torment us spiritually sensitive people.
I would argue that The Straight Story is the most normie accessible but sadly does not have any of Lynch's typical Lynch elements.
Wild at Heart or Mulholland Drive should be the best starting point.
>Straight Story
Kino of the highest caliber. Soundtrack, too.
I need to give that one a rewatch.
Yeah that one or Wild at Heart. Maybe even Eraserhead.
Hmm wild at heart, I might pick that one if not Blue Velvet.
I just feel like Blue Velvet is a good example of what he's about, and will leave my friend wanting more
nice file name bait
?
You jump in feet first into it. Which is either anywhere, or with the beginning. Probably not a big deal in the long run. You either dig it his genre, his own entire subgenre, at this point, or don't. I remember renting Eraserhead, this was way back when you had to rent it on VHS sonny. Anyway well my fake granny, she paid for it. She opens the door, looks at the TV playing Eraserhead, and wonders what the heck was going on. I shrugged.
>Drop a blue ball on the bathroom floor and film it slowly
>You're now a Lynchean director
that's like saying shooting in black and white makes you Alfred Hitchwiener
Blue Velvet or Lost Highway. Both are pure Lynch but also his most accessible.
blue velvet has a very straight forward plot while also incorporating the weirdness that makes lynch lynch so it's a good starting point
anything from the teen selection of xvideos
Blue Velvet. It's a soft introduction to his mind. And for a curve ball, Straight Story because it's so unlike any of his other movies.
Dune, no subtitles, and preferably they have not read the book. Go to great lengths to prevent them from finding out what critics think of it.
Make them feel like an uncultured moron when they can't follow it and don't like it.
I like Dune and Lost Highway. Eraser head is absolute torture to watch it may be the worst movie era. Start with twin peaks fire walk with me since it can’t be a show
Maybe Eraserhead first so he's prepared for Lynch's signature weirdness. After that Blue Velvet should be a nice followup.
Wild at Heart
Anything but Mulholland Drive
Mulholland drive, it's the ultimate insufferable normie hipster movie
then go watch a good movie instead like lord of the rings
khhv post
imagine criticizing someone for having normie tastes and then recommending Lord of the Rings lol
not criticizing at all, but Mulholland drive is nothing but a prop people use to big note themselves as intellectuals no one genuinely enjoys it, but everyone likes lord of the rings
Lord of the Rings is for people not smart enough to read a book.
I disagree, reading is generally really boring and time consuming it's not the 1800s we have movies and audiobooks now
would you rather read Romance of the three kingdoms or play dynasty warriors or watch one of the TV shows or movies?
I guess that's up to personal preference, some people just love reading i spose
A thing that makes Eraserhead a good start is that it's probably his funniest movie
Wild at Heart
I would agree Blue Velvet is a good place to start. Not so much Lost Highway, I actually think that's jumping into the deep end of the pool. You should definitely watch Mulholland Drive first, I think it's much easier to understand.
His saddest one.
